Rogue Valley Transportation District is a transportation district serving the greater Jackson County, Oregon area. The district serves the cities of Medford, Ashland, White City, Phoenix, Talent, Jacksonville, and Central Point.[2] The district also provides paratransit services to older adults and people with disabilities within its route coverage area.[8]
The Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) was established May 6, 1975 upon the passing of a special election measure allowing the county to establish a transportation district funded by Oregon tax dollars.[9] Two years later after considerable planning and procurement of funding, the first transit buses took the streets of Medford, with service beginning in July 1977.[10]
